"One NBA front office ran simulations, based on player values, for the upcoming season. Cleveland came out with 64 wins, second best in the league. Golden State came out with 83, better than undefeated. They broke the system."

The NBA regular season is 82 games, meaning, according to this team's simulation, the Warriors would go undefeated.

It's unclear how, exactly, this simulation worked, but going undefeated won't happen, of course. The Warriors struggled to get to 73 wins last season, fighting fatigue down the stretch of the regular season.

While the addition of Durant makes them better, it's highly unlikely that he makes them impossible-to-beat better. After struggling with injuries in the playoffs and coming up short of a second straight championship, it seems even more unlikely that the Warriors would again pursue the best record in NBA history.

Whether the Warriors win 83 games or 73 or 65, it says something that, on paper, the talent they've collected broke another team's simulation.
